I could choose any one of 8-9 REM albums to include. This is probably their most celebrated album of the time period? But Murmer, Reckoning, UP, Out Of Time, and others are all just as good.

This is another album inspired by turning thirty, although with REM their songs tend to the wistful and abstruse rather than gloominess. The opening track Drive sets the tone for the album with sparse acoustic guitars blossoming into a stunning string arrangement from John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. The remastered atmos mix also shines here, sounding intimate and epic at the same time. The highlight is still Stipe’s Elvis impression on Man in the Moon.

Everybody Hurts, sometimes. And even when all seems right, this song is legendary.

It's either this one or Monster for most R.E.M. fans. I prefer Automatic. It's a classic.
